Pack your bags and prepare yourself for a magical journey straight to the heart of Southern Italy!

“I would absolutely YES recommend this trip. The variety of activities, the access to local foods, the pleasantness of both Tess and Elena all contributed to a very lovely tour. I would also say that I felt it was in a price range that I could afford, doing what I like to do.It was a fabulous tour and I am so very happy I was able to share it with you. You are to be commended and applauded for what you have put together.” - Diane S.

“I would definitely recommend this trip. Our two tour guides were poised and extremely accommodating. There were a variety of activities for all interests.” - Anna P.

Although Alberobello, Matera and Lecce are hands down the most spectacular spots to visit in Southeastern Italy, we’re delighted to also show you number of “diamonds in the rough” that are still very much off the tourist radar.

Anthony Bourdain's 'Parts Unknown' in Southern Italy

“This is authentically Italy. After you've battled the crowds in your tours of the big cities, come home, to the real Italy. Salento. Off the beaten path, in the deep south. Where locals are so friendly and relaxed, they're even adored by other Italians. The regional food is deliciously pure, the rich historical layers in ancient city centers transport your soul through time, and the quiet turquoise beaches are yours to enjoy.”
